I'd say if it's bandwidth we're after, we shouldn't be reducing the number of signal lines. Do things in parallel instead of serializing everything and depending on astronomical clock speeds. Obviously PATA is obsolete but especially with the rising importance of multiprocessing we should be focusing on more parallel solutions, perhaps allowing multiple reads at a time on different lines of the connector.
A "real artist"? I don't even know what to say to that. You must have been living under a rock for the past 4000 years. If there's such a thing as a "real artist" it's the artist who challenges conventions, like by presenting a finger painting as print-quality commercial art. Art is all about expression, and I can't think of anything artsier than noticing a poignant urban scene and sitting down on the spot and spending a few hours capturing it. Not a color-accurate, realist perfect reproduction but a blurry finger painting just enough to communicate what the artist was feeling.
You might be smuggling in poisonous sandwiches. Everybody remain seated, I'm hijacking this plane. I warn you, if you resist I'll throw a poisonous sandwich at you.
Also travellers are used to being burned by airports without Wifi but they've never seen an airport without something to eat. It's natural that they'd complain about the former.
Theoretically the attacker could throw away un-memorizable permutations and cut through tons of entropy, but it would be extremely difficult.
So you're an attacker and you try all the English words. Users can just type in 1337 5P33K. So you throw in leet words. Users can type their word ROT1. So you throw in all constant shifts. Users can type their word in ROTN where N is the place of the character they're typing. So you throw in all linear shifts. Users can type their word using the key directly to the right of the actual letter, or below it, or to the left, or above it, or two letters to the right, or on the opposite side. The user can just remember their word and whatever neat trick they happen to be using that 90 days, and they have a password that's in practice exactly as secure as a true random sequence. If they want to be really secure they can just remember a nice symmetrical pattern of keypresses around the keyboard- there are so many that an attacker could never identify permutations that "aren't part of a pattern." Yes they can say that if you have '!@#$%^&*()' characters in your password you're probably using the key-above method or something like that but really, you're grasping at straws.
Why do you assume there is such a thing? The only way I can think of is a distributed network, which as the summary says, runs into serious scaling issues.
With 8 characters you have to make on the order of 10^15 guesses. To go through all of those guesses in 90 days you have to try 783.9 million combinations per second.
Well then it's increasing by a factor of 8-4/(1-n) which is only 4 when n=0. In fact, as n grows the number of "connections" increases by a factor of 8 when n doubles. I think.
It's illegal in the United States too. Well, sort of. And this is !gaming it's online poker and such. Also 100 million baht is a million dollars. Shrug.
I believe last.fm gets file hash information along with the tags of the song you're listening to so they can ID untagged songs with the same signature or something. Combine with watermarking and you have a serious concern.
No KingMotley's right. n(n-1)/2 is the number of connections where n is the number of users. Expanded we have (n^2-n)/2. Now n doubles so we have 2n^2-n. So it's actually increasing by a factor of 4-2/(1-n).
Also the idea that a software monoculture is a bad security practice is ludicrous. What's the right way to do it then? Making sure that too many users don't install the same software so nobody can get hit by malware? "Well they can't possibly write malware for them all at least someone's safe".
How does having 3 times as many vulnerabilities make it harder for malware to spread? Your logic is "well if 2/3 of the malware gets shunted off to other OSes then I'm golden" but you'll have 3 times as much malware to be shunted!
The cameras are mounted on the wall above the urinal; they're not staring at you out of the disinfectant cake. The only people with anything to be embarrassed about are the douchebags who lean forward and put their hand on the back wall and roll their head back and make weird facial expressions, and I don't feel sorry for them at all.
The camera itself isn't shown in the picture; it's on the wall probably chest-height. That's where the IR sensors usually are. (I don't know how much slashdot females know about mens urinals o.o)
If there had to be a camera somewhere in a men's restroom, the safest place would probably be right on the urinal facing straight out, where it apparently is. And if you're blanketing a building with security cameras, how much sense does it make to leave out prominently labelled rooms where any illicit activity can occur under the radar?
Don't get me wrong, video surveillance is absurd, but cameras in bathrooms isn't any worse than cameras on every street corner.
Damnit I have a right to go crazy and run off if I want to!
You should, but you don't. No matter how much you pontificate about refusing medical treatment and your right to do what you want as long as it doesn't impinge on the rights of others, they will strap you down and haul you off to the hospital. It's a catch 22: a mentally competent person can make their own decisions about their life, but if you deviate from the norm you're not judged mentally competent.
Reminds me of the Pure Pwnage season 1 finale. Here it is on youtube. It takes guts but do it, and tell him you did it when he starts screaming his head off.
Oh and they actually deleted a level 70 character to shoot the episode.
It's actually not. Most of it is about relationships and marriage. Yes part of it has advice about sex but it's descriptive rather than erotic. Plus it's translated from Sanskrit so it's hardly readable. Here's a sample:
On the occasion of a 'high congress' the Mrigi (Deer) woman should lie down in such a way as to widen her yoni, while in a 'low congress' the Hastini (Elephant) woman should lie down so as to contract hers. But in an 'equal congress' they should lie down in the natural position. What is said above concerning the Mrigi and the Hastini applies also to the Vadawa (Mare) woman. In a 'low congress the woman should particularly make use of medicine, to cause her desires to be satisfied quickly.
Plus the famous pictures were only added later and aren't part of the actual work.

Oh come on, tons of people own iphones and it's inevitable that someone's going to use theirs for something.

comets and asteroids that have struck the planet should have scattered at least some organic molecules
Why would we expect comets or asteroids to carry organics? Haven't they been around much longer than life?

How does someone picking one from a list eliminate that much entropy?
scads of information

I think he knows. At least, I hope there's nobody that thinks a megahertz is something inside a processor.
